Staff Text Line default settings

• Aug 20, 2022 - 17:33

Hello. I'm wondering id there is any chance to set the default settings for this Line (like style, thickness), so I won't need to edit this every time I use the tool.

Thanks

Change it once, then add to a custom palette, then used that entry henceforth

Hello there. I did added it to the palette but it's not keeping the line thickness. The edited one is 0.15sp and the one from the custom palette is 0.25sp. Weird.

It's working for me. Can you maybe make a screen recording showing your process, starting from adding the default line, changing the thickness, adding it to the palette, then adding that back the score?

HI Marc. I just tested it again, and it's working if I create the score from scratch. But when I added the line to another score, the thicknes is different. So, is there any other place to check if the score has a default line thickness?

Thanks for the video! But I'm a little confused, looks like you customized the line type but not it's thickness, at least, not when you added to the palette.

Anyhow, I think what you are seeing here has nothing to do with custom paelttes, it's a general issue even with the default line when adding to a score with a smaller-than-default staff size. The line thickness gets scaled so that it's the same "absolutely" thickness instead of the same "relative" thickness as in a standard-sized score.

There are a number of other similar issues involving mismatches between line thickness and scaling, but I'm not seeing 8ezactly* this reported already. And it still seems wrong in current builds of MuseScore 4. So I recommend reporting this on GitHub. no need to mention the custom palette (that wasn't even working until a few hours ago!) - just use any line from the Lines palette.
